MARTE - Merkaba • XL

This is a unique and original work by the artist MARTE, handwritten signature on the back and with an included certificate of authenticity. This particular painting transcends landscape boundaries, sharing features of surrealism and approaching conceptual art. It proposes a new vision in contemporary abstract art with nods to abstract expressionism. The XXL format of the painting is ideal for contemplating the details in all their splendor; it works very well in galleries and modern interiors.

MARTE's work is characterized by a balanced palette and soft brushstrokes complemented by subtle glazes. They are compositions with a meditative spirit, and their scenes aim to convey an idea linked to a strong experience. Therefore, the construction of the pictorial setting is essential to evoke that dreamlike vision. His works may include many themes but follow a single conceptual thread that is clearly visible in all his paintings.
